IT WORKS!!!! In every language! Change the ROM for Ipaq 114

[ThonaV]

Hello Everyone!

I had problems with my Ipaq. It has an italian ROM. So I´d like to flash it with an german ROM. On the HP-Homepage i found an italian and a german ROM. But of course it isn´t possible to use the german version. Couldn't anyone cook or dump a GERMAN ROM for the Ipaq 114? I think here are a lot of Germans who would really really appreciate that.

Many thanks!!!

Thomas:confused: Further Informations: Isn´t it possible to overwrite the italian nbf-file with the german one???

Got new informations!!!
Instruction to flash:

1.) You need the german and the italian Rom-update. Both have to unpack on your hard disk!
2.) You connect PDA with the PC, but not with the ac-power.
3.) Start the italian Softpaq. Meanwhile the Update the programm will recognize, that the update does only work with ac-plugged
in.
4.) No you rename the Romfile from the german Update with the name from the italian one and copy it to the folder with the
italian Update
5.) NOW plug in the AC-Power Cable

On this way you bypass the country check - this will be done before the checking of the ac-power.

No ideas???

It must be possible... Here are so many "professionals"!!!

By the way: This is a great forum here. Interesting discussions...:rolleyes:

[ThonaV]

First, I have to say Hello!, this is my first post in this forum. I own an ipaq 110 classic series with WWE(world wide english).

I'have tried many ways to perform a language change, none of them appears to work, at least in this model. The method described above don't work on ipaqs 110 series, because this model only have a mini-usb port in the bottom end; which supplies data connection and power. Then... How I can "connect the AC power" to the device?. O maybe I'm omitting something.

Sorry about my english, I'm from Spain.

First of all you have to forbid your pda the charging via usb.
Use these (http://mstechnology.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/deaktivieren-des-aufladen-von-akkus-in-windows-mobile-geraten-uber-den-usb-port/)settings to do this.
When the software ask, reactivate the settings...
Try it...

Greetings!

Bye the way. My english isn´t better. I´m from germany :-)


EDIT !!!!!

SORRY!

It doesn´t work to deactivate the charging funktion. The problem is, that the pda use just one cable for the datas and for charging.
When you start the rom-update the setup programm automaticly start the charging option. The update starts immediatly...
No chance for overwrite the original language rom-file with the one from - in my case - the german one...

[ThonaV]

Need help! Please!!! It´s very important for me to have a german system (especially for my software).

additional information: i have a spanish model and i need urgently a german one...!!!!

HELP NEEDED!!!

Finally... I'have found a way to change language on ipaq 110 series (I think I have seen this method somewhere else)...
First you need:
1. ROM update for your device's language (in this case spanish)
2. ROM update what you want to change (germany or other)
both can be downloaded from HP's web page.

You must unpack each ROM in a directory with winrar, by separate, for example in the desktop.
Run the RUU utility of your device's language, the program will make some checkups and tells, it is correct the ROM and the language. Proceed with the update.

THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT STEPS:
1. The progress bar in the PC screen will not move forward, and in the device the screen will show "RUU downloading mode" in a white background (I suppose this is the famous "bootloader mode"). In this moment you have to paste the "HPImage.nbf" from germany ROM (I suggest before you copy the file and let ready for the paste) to the directory with your device original ROM language, you have aprox 5 sec to do so; the update will continue with no warnings. The device's screen will show "downloading mode" and the progress bar in the setup in the PC will reach the end.

2. The device will perform a "CLEAN BOOT" in green letters and... your device is speaking germany (or other language).

I'm not sure how safe the procedure is.
I suggest you run the ROM update of your original device language before doing the change, to check the screens, the timing, etc.

Hope it works in your device. Mine now is speaking spanish.
Regards.

Hi, a have a problem, i got Ipaq 114 witch Netherlands ROM (NLD, Dutch) and i would like English, German or French (it does not matter), but to flash i need Netherlands rom to, but on official HP site it isn't (just only English, German or French). Can anybody help me pls, give me some link to Netherlands rom?:) thx

[joy.d]

I have the actually german based ROM (April 2008) and wondering about this symptom:

Always when I connected my "blank" IPAQ 114 to active sync (sync with local Outlook) "and make" a new partnership - the Time on my PDA is "-9 hours" from our local time.

I test this with other IPAQ 114, with other Windows XP, and other AS 4.5 - always the same problem. If I use an other PDA (HTC Touch HD, Pro, S740) all work fine and the time on this devices are correct...

Any Idea what is the timesync Problem with ipaq 114 and active Sync?

the Language settings, time zones are correct on the IPAQ114.

I found a solution for an old IPAQ 6315 :But is that the really solution?

I found out that this is a know problem by HP. There is no current fix, but they did provide me with a work around. The work around is a 2 step process and both must be done before performing an ActiveSync. If not, the problem will become worse by advancing all the appointments in the host's calander. First, in the date and time properities on the PC, UNCHECk the automatically adjuct clock for daylights saving time box. Second, if the IPAQ is located in Eastern Standard Time, set the IPAQ's time zone to Indiana (IN) as they do not observe DST. If in MST set the time zone to AZ. If in CST set the time zone to Saskatchewan, Canada.

Does anyone here have any idea if is possible to update an iPAQ 116 (that is pretty much the same as the 110 and 114) from WM6.0 to WM6.5?

I have one here but I don't even have it's instalation CD. For some reason I can't connect it by USB, just by Bluetooth.

Any help?
